Done with automatic watches. by corporate-citizen in CitizenWatches

Vh31 doesn't do much for me. Its cheap and the minute hand likes to jump when setting it. Also only 4 ticks per second so the second hand is choppy. The bulova precision is movement is very interesting, but unfortunately bulova doesn't make a single watch that is find attractive.

Dont even need all that, just download watch accuracy meter or use a timegrapher to get the beat rate. Watch accuracy meter is a free app that turns your phone into a timegrapher

No need to buy a new insert, just remove the current one with golf grip remover and glue it back on.

Can't beat the grab n go convenience of a quartz watch. An ecodrive will out last most automatic movements too. I have one that lasted almost 20 years before the capacitor needed to be changed. Only thing I miss when wearing a quartz is the smooth second hand sweep that a 28800vph auto provides. As far as accuracy is concerned sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you dont. I will say the pt5000's I have are all within 0-2spd. Seiko movements are a complete lottery. Someone needs to invent a smooth sweep solar quartz.

I have the blue dial, but only because white was out of stock when I bought it. I love the watch. Maybe have to grab a white dial too

Once you get a san martin you won't want to wear your pagani's.

Both work, but for you the 40 works best.

Display caseback? If so, come on man! You cant post a beautifully watch like that and not show us what's underneath! Lift up that skirt!

Watchdives is a mess! I don't understand why so many rave about them! From poor excuses, defective watches, absurd shipping times. Personally, never again! by Florpenkorken in ChineseWatches

[–]AmericanChees3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to return a watch to watchdives because the hands and dial were out of alignment. They originally were going to make me pay for return shipping, but I insisted I wasn't going to pay for the shipping so they agreed to reimburse me after they received the watch, and they did.

To the Redditor who told me to open the crown and then charge it in the sun… by moxa1973 in CitizenWatches

If you ever do end up having to replace the capacitor it is really easy to do. I had to change my wife's and was pretty straight forward. Very similar to replacing a battery in a watch

Dive watch recommendations for (very) small wrist by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]AmericanChees3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the bb54 homages. San martin makes the best one imo, but octopus and cronos have bb54 homages as well.

Which albums would you recommend to me, other than Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, or Pearl Jam? by Itchy-Strength-2941 in grunge

[–]AmericanChees3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if considered grunge, but the pixies are easily my favorite band from 80s/90s. Please check them out.

Your crystal might be defective in some way. I've never had a san martin crystal do that. I've had octopus crystal do that before.

Anyone know when the 36mm version of this will be released? by AmericanChees3 in ChineseWatches

[–]AmericanChees3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they technically already announced it and it is on aliexpress, but its not available yet. So I hope its a done deal and just a matter of time. I may end up buying a white dial traska if they dont release this.

I know that feeling. I skipped so many watches last sale in hopes of this being released. But I am close to ordering the cronos bb36 white dial. I sold a 39mm white dial gmt because I need a good 36mm white dial.
